History
Former logo as 107.5 Kolt Country.

On September 24, 2018, Grenax Broadcasting II, LLC, announced plans to sell KSED and sister stations KBTK, KFLX, and KWMX to Stone Canyon Media Group—a group including former executives of Cherry Creek Media, Emmis Communications, and Withers Broadcasting.[1] the purchase was completed in December.[2]

On January 7, 2019, the station dropped its Kolt Country format, and began stunting with a speaking clock counting down to 6:00 a.m. on January 14, 2019 (at which time the station was expected to introduce a new format or other significant change in operations). The nature of the stunt caused concern among residents, to the point that the Flagstaff Police Department had to release a statement asking residents to stop phoning about the broadcasts, as the countdown was a promotional event with no harm intended.[3][4]

At the conclusion of the stunt, the station returned to a country format as The New Kolt @ 107.5.[5]
